Overview

Installing a new instance of Digital Hive on Linux requires special installation considerations, and the Digital Hive Installation and Configuration Overview article can be followed.

Ensure that a recent backup of the Digital Hive server has been completed and is available. Because the upgrade requires a complete re-indexing of content, it is suggested that the upgrade be performed off hours and with enough lead time to complete the indexing of the content.

Digital Hive Upgrade Steps

1. Download Digital Hive 2024.3 - Linux and SFTP to the Linux server
   
2. Open a Linux terminal and login as the Digital Hive user
   
3. Create a directory in you Digital Hive root, called installer.  For example, in my environment, the Digital Hive user home is /home/digitalhive/DigitalHive and I created a directory in there called installer:  /home/digitalhive/DigitalHive/installer
4. If you didn't SFTP into that folder directly, move the file to that directory:  mv DigitalHive-2024.3_linux-x64.tar.gz /home/digitalhive/DigitalHive
   NOTE: if you used root to SFTP the file to the server, then you will have to chown and chgrp the file to the Digital Hive user, For example:
   chown digitalhive DigitalHive-2024.3_linux-x64.tar.gz
   chgrp digitalhive  DigitalHive-2024.3_linux-x64.tar.gz
5. If you're not logged in as the Digital Hive user, then: su digitalhive
6. Unzip the file:  gunzip DigitalHive-2024.3_linux-x64.tar.gz
   
7. Untar the file: tar -xvf DigitalHive-2024.3_linux-x64.tar
   
8. Run the installer with this command:  ./setup.sh
   
9. At this prompt: Press 1
   
10. Enter Licensee name:  <your license name>
    
11. Enter License key:  <your license key>
    
12. Press 1 to continue
    
13. Press spacebar until this prompt:  Press 1 to accept, 2 to reject, 3 to display
    
14. Enter 1
    
15. Enter 1 to Install
    
16. Enter 1
    
17. Enter 0 (or Press Enter)
    
18. Enter 1
    
19. Enter the Digital Hive installation path (or press enter to accept the default path)
    
20. Enter 1 (assuming it is correct)
    
    
21. Enter O at this prompt
    
22. Press Enter (if the port is correct)
    
23. Enter 1
    
24. Installation will begin and then finish with the post-upgrade instructions:
    
25. Press 1

Postgres Upgrade Steps (This example uses Ubuntu, the Linux commands will be slightly different on other Linux flavours)

Here is an article that explains how to install PostgreSQL 16 on RHEL-Based Linux

https://www.tecmint.com/install-postgresql-on-centos-rhel-fedora/

1. Apply the latest Linux updates:  sudo apt-get update
   
2. Enable PostgreSQL Repository:  sudo apt install postgresql
   
3. Allow other computers to connect to Postgres:  sudo vi /etc/postgresql/16/main/postgresql.conf
   
4. Change listen_address from localhost to *
   listen_address – ‘*’
5. Set the password for the postgres user:  sudo -u postgres psql template1
   
6. Run this SQL:  alter user postgres with encrypted password ‘your_password’;
   
7. Type: exit
   
8. Change the authentication for the postgres user allowed for the template1 database to use md5 authentication:
   sudo vi /etc/postgresql/16/main/pg_hba.conf
9. Add this line (changing <local network IP> to your private IP):
   hostssl  template1           all               <local network IP>           md5
10. Restart Postgres:  sudo systemctl restart postgresql.service
    
11. Change directory to your Digital Hive home:  cd /home/digitalhive/DigitalHive
    
12. Stop all DigitalHive services: ./stopAll.sh
    
13. Start the old Postgres:  ./postgres.sh -start
    
14. Change directory to the migration script:  cd post-upgrade-steps/2024.3/migrate-postgres
    
15. Edit postgres-migration.properties:  sudo vi postgres-migration.properties
    
16. Set these settings (changing to what matches for your environment):
    # the password for the existing Content Store password
    source.db.password=abc123
    # the host and port of the new external Postgres instance
    target.db.host=10.23.5.133
    target.db.port=5433
    # a privileged postgres user that can create the new database in the external Postgres instance
    target.db.admin.user=postgres
    target.db.admin.password=efa$gswex@
    target.db.database=postgres
    # details for the new Content Store database that will be created
    target.db.user=dhadmin
    target.db.password=trevor
    target.db.name=digitalhive
17. You now run the migrate script:  
    
    ./migrate-postgres-content-store.sh --apply
    
    

    DO NOT proceed beyond this step if there is a failure 
    If it does error, you will see the error message. Also, there will be an output directory that contains the SQL that was run, and standard error/out files which will help you determine why it failed. The output directory is the directory you're in: /home/digitalhive/DigitalHive/post-upgrade-steps/2024.3/migrate-postgres
    You can address the issue and try again.
18. Go back to the original Postgres (i.e. the legacy bundled one) and stop it:  
    cd /home/digitalhive/DigitalHive
    ./postgres.sh -stop
19. Edit theia.properties:  vi app/node1/tomcat/theia.properties
    
20. Comment out these settings (you may delete them after you verify the new settings work):
    #motio.theia.db.useBundledDataStore=true
    #motio.theia.db.username=encryptedAes:qXxYGhNzgKRWfu7EK1vTdw==
    #motio.theia.db.password=encryptedAes:6raHEqipbGFKqikwUXM/hg==
    #motio.theia.db.url=jdbc:postgresql://i-03e06497abed6ee62:5432/digitalhive
    #motio.adfcore.db.username=encryptedAes:qXxYGhNzgKRWfu7EK1vTdw==
    #motio.adfcore.db.password=encryptedAes:6raHEqipbGFKqikwUXM/hg==
    #motio.adfcore.db.url=jdbc:postgresql://i-03e06497abed6ee62:5432/digitalhive
21. Add these settings (replacing the port, username and password with your new env):
    motio.theia.db.useBundledDataStore=false
    motio.theia.db.username=unencrypted:dhadmin
    motio.theia.db.password=unencrypted:trevor
    motio.theia.db.url=jdbc:postgresql://i-03e06497abed6ee62:5433/digitalhive
    motio.adfcore.db.username=unencrypted:dhadmin
    motio.adfcore.db.password=unencrypted:trevor
    motio.adfcore.db.url=jdbc:postgresql://i-03e06497abed6ee62:5433/digitalhive
22. Save and Exit:  :wq!
    
23. Start Digital Hive:
    cd /home/digitalhive/DigitalHive
    ./startAll.sh
